Leroy Haynes Appoints Major Group Chairman; Deans Cunning-ham and Hunt Speak; C. A. Dykstra is Speaker of Morning.
Welcoming the School of Daw to the ♦ men did not have to put up a single
Southern California campus, and at the same time pointing out that this new addition to the campus colleges gives the College of Commerce an opportunity to demonstrate to the university what a live College of Commerce really is, Leroy Haynes, president of Commerce, opened the Commerce Rally which was held Friday at 10 o’clock in Touchstone Theatre in the Old College Building.
Following his speech of welcome, Haynes appointed the Major Group chairmen, iwho are to have charge of bringing the different major groups in Commerce into close relationship with the business life and business men of Los Angeles. Commenting upon this new plan, the president said: ‘‘We are trying to promote group welfare through the appointment of group chairmen. Through these groups it is hoped to briig the students into closer contact with the bigger business men of the city.”
The group chairmen appointed for the coming year are: Leslie Harding, foreign trade; Vens Rasmussen, gen-t al business; Edward Nelson, banking and finance; Don Edwin, accounting.
Dean Rockwell D. Hunt of the Graduate School, in his brief review of the historical development of Commerce, stated: “With the organization of Commerce, the name ‘College of Commerce and Business Administration’ was chosen, and work was begun in February, 1920. In September, 1920, the college work had its real beginning in the full sense of the word. Since progress w as not as rapid as had been desired, we secured twenty guarantors, but at the end of the year these

MEETING OF A. W. S.
TO BE AT POMONA
WAMPUS KITTEN DUE TOMORROW
WOW! The date calendar just blew up, as the Lawyers and the Wampus came out at the same time. And the Lawyers, accustomed to sawing wood in the woozy old Tajo Building, will fail to get their usual sleep tomorrow, as the snappiest Wampus in history, or out, has at last reached the breaking point. According to several campus lights who were fortunate enough to enjoy a preview of the sizzling Wampus late Sunday night, the whole town will be ta’king tomorrow, if it can get its breath.
According to good authority, the editors of this highly saturated sheet have taken out the limit in insurance, and have bought one-way tickets to the heart of darkest Africa—(that’s a shady one).
Some of the things listed in tomorrow’s bargain sale are eve-treating pen gems with the following captions: “Power of the Press,” “Her Date Palms,” “Unconscious Grace,” “U.S.C. Alumni Heroes,” “Burning Corpuscles,” “Why the Chicken Crossed the Road,” “How a Prof. Takes the Roll,” and an intimate view of something rosy looking over the pledge line. All told (whispered or otherwise), there are some thirty vivid drawings, chosen from some cne hundred not burnt, but scorching offerings.
John Post has had another nightmare, and produced a most violent cover, featuring the Women’s Building. The Old Cat’s blanket, is in three brilliant colors, and is a circus in itself, with its riot of Old Timers and Freshman co-eds.

S. C. PREPS AGAIN OCCUPY OLD SITE
S. C.’s prep school again occupies the same building in which it began forty-six years ago. S. C. had its beginnings as a prep school, according to Merritt C. Thompson, principal. He also made the statement that the present school is maintained primarily as a laboratry for the Department of Education.
The University of Southern California started in 1879 as a prep school in what has since come to be known as the Architecture Building. The wings, however, were added later. Two years after the school, known as the "academy,” was founded, it was turned into a university and the graduating class of the prep school became the first freshmen.
The prep school is really maintained as a practice school for education students and bears the same relation to the Department of Education that laboratories bear to other courses. As half a year of practice teaching is required by the state law before a teacher’s certificate may be issued, a prep school on the campus is a great accommodation to education students, according to Mr. Thompson.
“The 200 prep students form a carefully selected group. The standards of the school are high and only those who give definite promise of developing into excellent college material are admitted. They must show superior records from schools previously attended, or be able to\pass, with a high grade, various intelligence tests,” said Mr. Thompson.
The prep school moved into its permanent home Wednesday.
“DO GIRLS THINK” TOPIC OF DAY
Because of the inability of G. Bromley Oxnam to address the Y.W. meeting Wednesday afternoon, discussion groups were held, with Margaret Burke, Helen Sherman and Frances Schultz as leaders.
The general topic under discussion was, “Do Girls Think?” In relation to this, such questions as these were brought up: Are Southern California co-eds mere social butterflies, totally indifferent to events outside of the narrow compass of the college campus? Is college a broadening process or does it narrow the interests of the students to scholastic and athletic activities? Is the criticism justified that is directed against the American college student as the only collegiate who is indifferent to world and international problems? Is the relationship between college men and women merely that of social stimulation and repartee, devoid of any really intelligent and co-operative thinking?
A supper meeting has been planned for next week at five o’clock on Wed-
Southem California Co-eds Will Attend Gathering.
Opening the annual conference with a discussion led by the University of Southern California, the Southern California Association of Associated
Women Students will meet at Pomona College, November 13, 14 and 15. Occidental College will assist S. C. in a talk on the last Oregon conference.
Official delegates from S. C. will be the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the A.W.'S., while a delegation consisting of women interested in college problems will be the unofficial representatives.
A varied program composed of speeches of vital value to every college woman will be presented by many colleges and universities of Southern California. Eeginning Friday night, November 13, the schedule of addresses reads as follows, “Keeping Girls Interested,” Santa Barbara; “Simplification of Activities,” Riverside; and “Freshmen,” Santa Ana.
“The Responsibility of Freedom” is the main topic for Saturday, including the following items: “Character of Leadership,” “Relation of Leadership to Self, to Habits, and to Others,” ‘‘Social Responsibilities of the Modern Girl,” and “Fallacies of Popular Representation.” These questions will be tieated by the following colleges: Fullerton, Occidental, Redlands, Fresno, San Diego and Pomona. Plans for Sunday have not been disclosed as yet.

Professor Mehra of University of California Will Talk Here.
That Professor Lai Chand Mehra, of the University of California Lecture Department, has been, engaged to address students of International Law,
is the announcement of Dr. J. E. Harley, professor of International Law at this university. He is scheduled to speak at 11:00 Tuesday morning in Stowel Hall 260. The talk is open to students and professors of International Law.
Professor Mehra will talk on the government of India, and he twill take up the subject of international relations. Of his ability as a speaker, Sir John Adams, emeritus professor of the University of London, states in reference to him: “He is a keen and even a subtle thinker, has a wide range of interests, and is particularly well informed in general, with an unusual knowledge of affairs and modes of thought in India.”
Professor Mehra is a native of India, and he received his education in schools and colleges under the University of Punjab. In 1919 he worked among the sufferers of the Amritsar massacre tragedy, and these experiences brought him into contact with all classes of people in India. Since his arrival in America in 1921, Mr. Mehra has received his A.B. and M.A. from the University of California.
Mr. Mehra is also a writer on Indian topics. One of his recent articles, “National Education in India,” was published in “School and Society.”
HOMECOMING PLANS ARE MADE BY ALUMNI AND STUDENT RALLY CREW

After meeting several times in order to perfect arrangements, the “Homecoming Committee” and “The Student Rally Committee” have announced their plans for the huge “Homecoming” celebration prior to the Iowa game. According to information received from the committee in charge of preparations, a student-alumni rally followed by the annual freshman pajamerino and torch dance will feature the evening’s program on November 20.
Some of the particular items on the program is announced by Harry Silk, Trojan alumni chairman, include a banquet in the basketball pavilion for all the men on the Friday preced-f rate cup will be given to the fraternity

ing the game. This dinner will commence at 6 o’clock and will be featured by an interesting program. The ladies likewise will be treated to a banquet at the Women’s Building to be held simultaneously with other functions. Immediately after the banquets the assembled students and alumni will cross over to the Coliseum where the greatest rally in the history of Southern California will be held.
Doctoi Lane, general chairman of the Homecoming Committee, announced that the listing of the items on the rally program has not been completed. There will be an introduction of former student body presidents and football captains, as well as university stars who will each make a short address. Hal Stonier is also scheduled for one of his spirited talks. It has become a tradition at the university to have an address from Mr. Stonier at the hqynecoming rally.
Immediately before the game on Saturday, November 21, the annual burlesque parade will start. This parade will form outside the Coliseum and be judged before it enters the stadium. It then will enter the giant bowl and after making a compiete trip around the field, leave by the same tunnel. All fraternities, sororities and other organizations on the campus will be represented by their respective floats, while the various colleges, as Law, Dentistry, etc., will have their own individual floats.
The prize to be offered this year for the best float is somewhat changed from that of last year in that a sepa-
winning in its group, and another given to the sorority judged the best in its particular section. Arrangements will be made whereby all organizations and colleges of the campus who enter the parade will be placed in one of the tw*o groups.
The cups are to be perpetual—that is, going from year to year to the organization winning the prize. The cups shall be possessed during the year they were won, then the name of the organization will be placed upon them and they will be turned over to the next winner at the following parade. The winning float is to be judged by five points to be determined by the committee, but it is thought that originality and action will play a prominent part in the final consideration.
Doctor Lane expects and is planning for over fifteen thousand members of the alumni to be present at the Homecoming events, but he states there will be an indefinite number of visitors from the surrounding country and city proper. This rally and series of alumni affairs before the big inte?*sectional game of the season has almost become a tradition at Southern California and it is the signal for a grand reunion of all Trojan alumni in this vicinity and from other sections of the country. The events are usually of such magnitude and put on in such a good manner that a large number of visitors are attracted and so, according to the committee, plans are being made to accommodate an extra large audience at the rally.

BULLETIN
The Southern California Varsity is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles at 9:45 tomorrow morning. Plans are now being formulated to give the squad a gigantic reception when they arrive at the Southern Pacific station. Dean Fiske, of the Associated Students' Store, working in conjunction with the Rally Committee, will supply decorations for cars expected to engage in the reception.
MOSCOW, Idaho, Oct. 30.—Playing a super brand of football, a kind of football that is symbolic of a great gridiron machine, one that shows perfection in line plunging, in passing, in counter attacking, and in punting, the Southern California gridiron varsity proved their worth by pouncing upon and trampling the Idaho Vandals under the heels of the Trojan War Horse with a 51 to 7 score.
It was a windy day, and the ground was damp and slippery. It was the first time that Coach Howard Jones’ team had journeyed away from the home
♦ stamping grounds and played football on a foreign field. About 6000 people witnessed the tilt.
/*LL PLAYED GOOD There was no individual star of the game but there were quite a few stars. Powrers and Reget stand out for the Vandals. Drury, Earle, Kaer, Elliot, and practically all the rest of the backfield starred for the Los Angeles boys. On the line, Taylor and Cravath showed up well, as did all the other men.
DRURY SCORES
Southern California, by the aid of Morley Drury, placed the game in cold storage a few minutes after the kick-off. Adams won the toss and elected to receive. After an exchange of punts, Drury kicking out of bounds on Idaho’s 8-yard line, and Reget, Idaho’s quarterback, returniug it via the same route to Cook, it was Southern California’s ball on the 41-yard line. After making one first down, the Vaadal line held and both Cook and LeFebvre failed to gain. A pass, Cook to Drury, resulted in S. C.’s fourth down with three to go. Drury broke through Idaho’s forward wall, and by a splendid exhibition of broken field running, eluded three tacklers and ran 34 yards to a touchdown. He failed to convert. (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)
The general subject of the World Court is proving itself to be a subject of intense interest as well as a popular topic during the months of October, November and December. The professional interest taken in the subject by the Political Science Department of the university is becoming intense, due to the fact that the United States senate is to pass on the question of the entrance of the United States into the Court at the December session.
To Professor Harley of the Political Science Department, is falling the brunt of the speaking engagements in relation to this topic. In addition to having been a Carnegie Fellow in International Law while at Harvard, Professor Harley was president of the Graduate School Student Body, president of the California Club at Harvard for two years, and instructor in the Harvard S.A.T.C. during the war.
Professor Harley, in his capacity as member of the board of directors of the Los Angeles City Club, and as chairman of the Committee on Information of the Council on International Relations, is scheduled to speak to several organizations on “The World Court and Its Status at Washington.” During his trip to the national capital last spring, Professor Harley was furnished a splendid opportunity to become familiar with the viewpoints of leading men, such as Charles Evans Hughes, president of the American Society of International Law; Secretary of State Kellogg, Dr. James Brown Scott, and others of note.
Another topic of interest in Professor Harley’s speaking engagements is the subject of “Modern Democracy.” Some of his speaking engagements include the League of Women Voters, Women’s University Club of Pasadena, Sierra Madre Woman’s Club, Joint meeting of the Chairmen of International Relations of the Federations of Women’s Clubs of Southern California.

After an exchange of punts, Drury kicking out of bounds on Idaho’s 8-yard line, and Reget, Idaho’s quarterback, returniug it via the same route to Cook, it was Southern California’s ball on the 41-yard line. After making one first down, the Vaadal line held and both Cook and LeFebvre failed to gain. A pass, Cook to Drury, resulted in S. C.’s fourth down with three to go.

The general subject of the World Court is proving itself to be a subject of intense interest as well as a popular topic during the months of October, November and December. The professional interest taken in the subject by the Political Science Department of the university is becoming intense, due to the fact that the United States senate is to pass on the question of the entrance of the United States into the Court at the December session.
To Professor Harley of the Political Science Department, is falling the brunt of the speaking engagements in relation to this topic. In addition to having been a Carnegie Fellow in International Law while at Harvard, Professor Harley was president of the Graduate School Student Body, president of the California Club at Harvard for two years, and instructor in the Harvard S.A.T.C. during the war.
Professor Harley, in his capacity as member of the board of directors of the Los Angeles City Club, and as chairman of the Committee on Information of the Council on International Relations, is scheduled to speak to several organizations on “The World Court and Its Status at Washington.” During his trip to the national capital last spring, Professor Harley was furnished a splendid opportunity to become familiar with the viewpoints of leading men, such as Charles Evans Hughes, president of the American Society of International Law; Secretary of State Kellogg, Dr. James Brown Scott, and others of note.
Another topic of interest in Professor Harley’s speaking engagements is the subject of “Modern Democracy.” Some of his speaking engagements include the League of Women Voters, Women’s University Club of Pasadena, Sierra Madre Woman’s Club, Joint meeting of the Chairmen of International Relations of the Federations of Women’s Clubs of Southern California.
